Hi, all I had the same problem with the sparq II,Yes, I did that test as well and found what you said is true, I like this phone for its internet, flashlight and hardware keypad and hardware FM radio.

I have a smartphone that I really love, but when I not in my car and I on public transportation (CTA) because of all the smartphone thieves on the trains and buses I rather have my sparq rather than my Android smartphone.

So here is what I did to fix the problem. Since there is no function on the sparq to turn off this annoying 911 feature; I carefully removed NOT the entire call button I removed just that black plastic cover over the white spongy material leaving the white spongy material that sit on top of the actual button that is embedded deeper inside the keypad. (of course this for the sparq that are too old to return for an exchange or refund)

Your numbers in you contact you can use the menu buttons to make calls ,if you dial a number not in your contacts, just use your thumb nail to push that white spongy material and your call is connected. Bye, chow, salaam.

FIXED IT! Okay, not totally. I couldn`t get rid of the emergency call button, but by downloading sqllite editor I was able to edit the emergency contact and change the number to NOT 911. I set mine to 12345 so when pressed it just "cannot complete the call as dialed". No more pocket 911 calls. Here`s what I did.
Root the phone
Download SuperSU
Download SQLite Editor (costs money, but you really only need it for 5 minutes, you could always REFUND it when you`re done, but $5 is a small price to pay for this fix, and you never know when you might need to edit another database.....)
Open SQLite Editor and navigate to data --> data --> com.android.providers.contacts --> databases -->contacts2.db --> emergency
Select the only entry and click edit (pencil icon)
Change the number to whatever you want. I don`t advise an actual working number because then you`ll be pocket calling them instead, but whatever floats your boat. Hope this helps!

munstermannp said: You`ve given me hope there is a solution. I really want to fix via your method. Several questions...
- How did you Root the S390G?
- Did you run SuperSU and SQLite Editor on the phone as apps (via SD card) or did you connect the phone to your PC via the USB connection?

Well it is hard to get rid of the emergency calls button but if you really want to stop it. You can try this sqllite this actually works like wonders as I am able to edit my emergency setting and change the number not to 911. Instead you can change it to any number. So when pressed it won’t directly be directed to emergency active call numbers. Just search in google for free download of this sqllite. Download it in your phone.

If the phone is saying that it has only emergency call it could mean that there is no network signal for your network carrier. Remove the SIM card, Restart your phone and see if you can get any service. Try another SIM card as well and see if it will make a difference. If it does not best thing you can do is bring the device to the nearest service center so they can check your phone.

Hello. If your Sim is not been able to read by your Phone, chances are that your Sim maybe damaged or your simcard slot on your phone has the problem ,you may try to use another type of Sim on your phone, if the Sim is working fine, The only problem then is the first sim that you are using. Please have it clean first using a dry cloth before inserting on your phone.
